Report About Children’s Books From the SCBWI Conference

I’m going to share information from a workshop session I attended today at the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators conference in Los Angeles.

Neal Porter, editorial director of Roaring Brook Press, now an imprint of the Macmillan Children’s Book Group, spoke about the books he has published and why he liked these.

Porter used a slideshow of the book covers to illustrate his talk and here are the 12 books he shared:

ACTION JACKSON by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan with illustrations by Robert Andrew Parker

BALLET FOR MARTHA: MAKING APPALACHIAN SPRING by Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan with illustrations by Brian Floca

BAD KITTY by Nick Bruel

LITTLE NIGHT by Yuyi Morales

FIRST THE EGG by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

AMANDINA by Sergio Ruzzier

UNDERGROUND by Shane W. Evans

SCRAWL by Mark Shulman

REDWOODS by Jason Chin

A SICK DAY FOR AMOS MCGEE by Philip C. Stead with illustrations by Erin Stead

AND THEN IT’S SPRING by Julie Fogliano with illustrations by Erin Stead

LITTLE TUG by Stephen Savage

ZEUS: KING OF THE GODS (OLYMPIANS) by George O’Connor

A IS FOR MUSK OX by Erin Cabatingan with illustrations by Matthew Myers

ABC3D by Marion Bataille

And to the applause of the workshop participants, Porter showed the YouTube video created for ABC3D — a video that has been viewed by almost 3 million people:
As you will notice from the above book list, many of the authors are also the illustrators of their books. Porter assured the workshop that authors do not have to also be illustrators to get their books traditionally published.

Buyers in Australia get more remedies per person than any other country. The diversity of medications marketed by companies is no doubt a contributing question to prescription preparation abuse epidemic. At present more than half of men aged over 50 reported some degree of erectile difficulties. Have a question about Cialis and levitra 10 mg? Let’s find answers to most pops questions about side effects of Cialis. While ED is more common among older men, that doesn’t make it ‘normal’. Most likely each man knows about levitra 10mg. Other problem we are going to is levitra 20mg. Orgasm troubles can usually indicate problems elsewhere. If you would like advice about Cialis, one of pharmacists will make approachable medicines that are suitable for you to take. You will then be able to buy the medicine.
